It's rather unfair to the data structure to say it's no good when there's likely to be an easy speedup between perhaps 2x and 5x. In principle all core primitives should be implemented in C; it loads faster, runs faster, and shares memory between processes. Of course scheme is much friendlier to write, and there's no burning need to squeeze out every last drop from things that are adequate as they stand. But if there's an issue of performance then some C is the natural first step (or natural first to be excluded). _______________________________________________ Guile-devel mailing list Guile-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-devel
